I'd say fantastic but the staff there are not friendly especially the restaurant staff. However, the shop keeper is really friendly. Among the facilities there I really enjoy the hot shower in clean toilets and the pool!! The FREE shuttle to the metro was a lot of help too. Overall I'd give it 3.5/5. Staff need to be much more friendly.close

A good place to stay in, provided that travellers allocate a bit more time for rome, since the travel time to rome is a bit longer than staying in the middle of the city.

I found this campsite extremely pleasant - the setting is lovely and, with the frequent shuttle bus to the station, convenient for seeing the sights of Rome. The facilities are excellent, and the staff friendly and helpful.

Because it's a camping area, it's not in the exact city center. But the environment was very good. Everything was great to live there with its restaurant-bar and market. The breakfast was very good for the cheap price. I liked it very much.

I was surprised how nice the place was, and how close it was to the city centre, for an inexpensive place to stay.

Tiber hostel is very good with the pool being great on those hot days. Tiber is 30mins from the old gates of Rome with trains running all the time. The meals at tiber are fantastic with the 8 euro special our favourite. I'd definitly stay again and recommend it.

Staff are extremely rude and unhelpful, accommodation may have been cheap, but they make up for it in extra costs such as laundry(9 euros for 1 load) and the very over priced restuarant, and considering that your 45 minutes out from anything you have to put up with it.

Its definately worth while staying somewhere else, it wil cost the same. Weve been backpacking for the past 7 weeks and can safely say this is the worst place we have stayed in.close

The cheapest room includes only beds and no air-con, which can be very terrible for summer in Rome. And the campsite is definitely much too far away from the city centre, despite there is a bus picking up people at the train station every half an hour. And finally, the most serious problem for a campsite is undeniably the mosquitos and other insects.close

A solid place to stay. Close enough to Rome, and a sort of vacation from vacation. The restaurant is pricy and you end up depending on it if you want a real meal, so either bring groceries from the city or prepare to pay. Don't bother getting a room with a private bathroom, the public facilities...

It would have been better if the shuttle came at 11:30pm. In order to catch the 11pm shuttle you would have to get on the 10:20pm subway back. That is a bit early. If the last shuttle was at 11:30pm than you could stay in Rome a bit later.
